...Speaking of, even if it didn't share a title word, Sunshine Cleaning would likely be compared to Little Miss Sunshine, which came from the same production company. There's the dark humor, the pathos, the suicide theme, the misfit child everyone adores and last but not least, Alan Arkin, who plays Rose and Norah's father Joe. Take away Little Miss's grandpa's deep interest in pornography, and they are essentially the same characters. Arkin's needling charms are intact, but it's a poor casting choice. When you hear him giving the same self-esteem speech...
...Edgar Hoover’s labeling of civil-rights icons Martin Luther King, Jr., and W.E.B. Du Bois as such. Just because the long list of individuals smeared as socialist happens to include prominent blacks alongside prominent whites like Franklin Roosevelt and every Democrat since does not make the word racial.

That's because, for all of its gorgeous photography and professional design, Purpose Driven Connection is really more of a multimedia curriculum for Evangelical small groups than it is a traditional magazine - a trade more than a consumer publication. The magazine, which will come...
...around 20 people erupted into argument. I couldn't understand what they were saying, but it was clear that there was significant disagreement. Finally, one man spoke. "Some people call us Rohingya," he said cautiously. I realized they were afraid to be identified as Rohingya because the very word carried with it the likelihood of so much discrimination. The man's name was Muhammad - he gave me his Bengali name, not the Burmese one that Rohingya are also required to have - and he left Burma two years ago on a crowded wooden boat filled with wannabe migrants. Eventually, the vessel...
